1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objective

The Household-Level Resettlement Audit (HLA) aims to assess whether the

compensation and support provided to the Households (HH) affected by involuntary

resettlement for the Rogun Hydro Power Plant (HPP) Project, Stage 1 is compliant with

Tajik law and the World Bank Operational Policy (OP) 4.12. Due to time limitations,

the findings from the HLA are not based on assessments of all HH but rather on a desk

review of all resettled HH and interviews with a sample of resettled HH (see Section 3.2

for details). In this regard this document is referred to as an Intermediate Household

Level Audit (Intermediate HLA). The Intermediate HLA includes a set of

recommendations which will facilitate the finalisation of the resettlement activities in a

way consistent with national regulation and the World Bank OP 4.12. In order to

identify the compensation gaps and necessary remedial measures for individual resettled

HH a full household level survey will be undertaken within the first six months of 2015.

The full survey will guide the individual HH retroactive payments and support (as

necessary) and facilitate the implementation of the recommendations listed in this

Intermediate HLA.

The objective of the Intermediate HLA is to establish a basis on which the formulation

of a program of retro-active support and/or compensation payments will be based and

therefore will provide a basis to ensure that entitlements under the projects’

Resettlement Action Plan (2014) are applied to those affected.

1.2 Scope

The Intermediate HLA applies to the HH:

Affected by Stage 1 resettlement activities of Rogun HPP;

that have already received compensation payments (in part or in whole); and

have initiated or completed the resettlement process.

In the framework of the Intermediate HLA, the following interrelated tasks have been

implemented:

1. A listing of all HH that have received compensation payments and that have

initiated or completed the resettlement process in Stage 1;

2. A desk review of compensation provided to affected HH (based on a sample of

the total affected HH) to provide details on when and in what form payments

have been made, and whether they comply with applicable Tajik requirements

and the entitlement matrix within the projects Resettlement Action Plan (RAP);

and

3. A detailed household survey of a sample of the affected HH to determine any

specific issues, compensation gaps or problems typically experienced by those

affected.

2 PROJECT BACKGROUND

2.1 Project overview

The proposed Rogun HPP is located approximately 110 km from Dushanbe, the capital

of Tajikistan. The Project is located on the Vakhsh River, which merges with the Pyanj

River to form the Amu Darya River. The selected dam site is in a narrow gorge with

steep flanks, approximately 6.5 km from Rogun town and 70 km upstream of the Nurek

Dam.

The Rogun dam site is located in the Rasht region which has 7 districts: Fayzabad,

Rogun, Rasht, Tavildara, Tojikobod and Jirgital.

Figure 1 - Outline of Rogun reservoir with affected districts

Source: RAP, 2014

2.2 Project history and current status

The Rogun HPP was first conceived in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s as part

of the regional development of what are now several independent states. The original

purpose of the Rogun project has evolved from supporting regional irrigation and

hydropower generation, to the present plan, which calls for Rogun to serve as a multi-

purpose project providing power, flow regulation, flood control and sediment retention.

Construction of Rogun HPP began in 1982 and was interrupted in 1993 after a dam

failure, in addition to the hard economic and political situation of the Republic of

Tajikistan at that time. Construction re-started in 2008, but since 2012 only care and

maintenance activities have been carried out pending finalisation of the technical,

economic, environmental and social studies.

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 3

The original design for the Rogun HPP comprised the following key components:

A 335m high embankment dam with a clay core and a crest at elevation 1300

masl;

An underground power house (installed capacity per the original design: 3,600

MW) and transformer units, with associated diversion tunnels.

The Directorate of the Flooding Zone of Rogun HPP, herein referred to as the

Resettlement Unit (RU), is responsible for the design, implementation and monitoring

of the resettlement activities of Rogun HPP in coordination with other government

ministries and agencies.

2.3 Project Area interested by the Household Level Audit: Stage 1 resettlement

Stage 1 resettlement area covers 6 villages located within the construction site for dam

and power house, and 1 village at a low elevation which will be submerged as soon as

impoundment will start (villages located in the so-called "risk zone").

3 METHODOLOGY

3.1 Secondary data collection and analysis

Evidence from the RU on the number of HH relocated to date and the percentage of

compensation delivered has been collected and analysed in December 2014.

An inventory of all HH that have received compensation payments and initiated or

completed the resettlement process in Stage 1 has been compiled using the following

information:

A list of all the HH affected by Stage 1 resettlement activities and their

relocation status (i.e. relocated or not relocated);

the level of compensation payment per village and per HH as a percentage of the

total HH compensation payment;

40 Technical Household Passport (THP) out of 289 listing the compensation of

assets provided to those affected.

A desk review was carried out on 40 THP and on all the HH listed in the inventory

compiled.

The information provided by the RU allowed the identification of 3 key groups of HH,

as shown in Figure 3 below. Each group gives an indicative overview of the status of

the compensation received and resettlement progress of each HH (see section 4.1.1 for

details). Group 1 and 2 include the HH that have received partial or full compensation

and started or completed the resettlement activities. Based on this criteria, 287 HH

represent the sampling frame used to drawn a representative sample of the population

for the administration of the socio-economic survey questionnaire.

A total of 2 HH have not initiated the resettlement process and compensation has not

been delivered. These two HH have therefore been excluded from the sampling frame1.

3.2 Primary data collection and analysis

A stratified sampling design has been used to draw a representative sample of the

population to be interviewed with the socio-economic survey questionnaire2.

The HH selected for the Intermediate HLA have been divided into 5 strata (i.e. groups).

These groups show the level of payment delivered to each HH, which is directly linked

to progress in the construction of the HH main premises and indirectly linked to the

resettlement progress (i.e. 60% second payment and 90% third payment indicate an

advancement in the construction activities and 100% the completion of the HH premises

with the consequent relocation to the new site).

Each HH has been assigned to one group and separate samples have been selected from

each group. The sample size of each group was proportional to the population size of

the group, with the aim of increasing the precision of the survey estimates. Each HH has

been assigned a code number and then randomly selected.

A sample of 120 HH (41% of the total number of HH affected by Stage 1 resettlement)

have been interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire3 by a team of 6

1 The ToR indicates the following: “The HLA does not include those households which have not received any payments to

date and have not initiated the resettlement process. These are covered under a separate census and socio-economic

survey. (…)The consultant will update the draft RAP to incorporate findings from the census. This may include updating

additional sections of the RAP”. Following the review of the data provided by the RU only 2 HH out of 289 responded to

the census requirements as described in the ToR, therefore a different approach has been used in the administration and

analysis of the census data (See Annex 1, Intermediate HLA Census and Survey socio-economic and demographic data

analysis). Additionally, in order to understand why these 2 HH did not start the relocation process vis-à-vis interviews

have been carried out and potential grievances and recommendations to address the grievances shared with the RU (see

Annex 4). 2 See Annex 3, Intermediate HLA Questionnaire.

visited all six original villages and all the resettlement sites.4

The questionnaire was structured in 7 sections:

1. HH overview and modification.

2. Land and agriculture.

3. HH compensation package.

4. Transportation.

5. HH income and project impact.

4 FINDINGS

4.1 Affected households and resettlement status in December 2014, Stage 1

The data provided by the RU shows the status of the resettlement process as partially

completed with 163 HH (56%) relocated to the new site in 2014 and 126 HH (44%)

expecting to be relocated in 2015 (see Figure 4). Table 2 shows the distribution per Village

of origin of the HH that will be affected by Stage 1 resettlement.

4.1.1 Status of compensation and progress in the resettlement activities

287 out of 289 HH have received compensation (in part or in whole) and have initiated or

completed the resettlement process.

The status of the construction activities of the HH premises is monitored by the RU and

directly linked with the disbursement of the compensation package allocated to each HH,

therefore the payment status from the RU data gives an indirect indication of the status of

resettlement of each HH:

1% HH received 30% of the compensation package, which indicates the starting point

for the construction activities.

19% HH received 60% of the total compensation package, which indicates some

advancement in the construction process.

9% received 90% of the total compensation package, which indicates advancement in

the construction process.

15% are in the process of closing the construction activities and reaching 100% of the

total amount due by the Project.

56% received 100% of their compensation package and represent those who relocated

in 2014.

5 5 out of 38 HH from Kishrog and Mirog selected Toychi and Tursunzade as site of relocation.

Figure 6 - Payment status in %

Source: Elaboration of RU data

The HH interviewed in the framework of the Intermediate HLA (the sample of 120

households) have been required to provide information about their relocation status that is,

when they will complete construction of their new homes and permanently move into them.

The Intermediate HLA data shows the following scenario (based on the perception of the

HH):

43% HH have relocated.

35% HH feel they will relocate in 2015.

22% HH feel they are likely to relocate between 2016-2019.

The main reason given by the HH interviewed to justify potential delays in the expected date

of relocation (i.e. relocation between 2016-2019) is the high cost of the construction materials

and labour force needed to finalise the construction of their premises.

4.2 Compensation entitlements recorded in December 2014, Stage 1

Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan

Article 32 “Everyone has the right to property and inheritance. No one has the right to deprive [a citizen of]

and limit the citizen's right to property. The confiscation of private property by the State for public needs is

permitted only on the basis of law and with the consent of the owner with the full compensation of its value.

Material and moral damage inflicted on a person (личности) as a result of illegal actions by State organs,

social associations, political parties, or individuals is compensated in accordance with the law at their

expense”

Article 13 “the land, its resources, water, airspace, fauna and flora, and other natural resources are

exclusively the property of the State, and the State guarantees their effective use in the interests of the

people”.

Land Code and Civil Code

Compensation for land withdrawal and other impacts due to public interest projects are regulated by the

Land Code RT (LC), the Civil Code RT (CC) and various normative-legal acts, which govern land

withdrawal, land allotment and impacts compensation to the citizens. The withdrawal/allotment of lands and

resettlement is based on the principles for compensation for losses incurred by land users or users of other

registered rights connected to land when the land plot is withdrawn for state and public need.

Evidence has been collected in collaboration with the RU about the compensation process and

the level of support given by the Project to those affected by Stage 1 resettlement (this

includes both secondary and primary data). A particular focus has been applied to the

following items:

Cash for lost housing and associated lost assets including trees.

Land for land.

Transportation.

One-time payment and Lex credit6.

Salvage material from the original house.

Construction material (selected villages).

Right to use the timber.

Utilities and infrastructure in the village of destination (reconstruction of all social,

economic and cultural infrastructure, for example water supply, health centres,

education facilities, markets, roads and paths, electricity lines, etc.).

More clarity will be needed from the full HLA on the following items:

Special (official) support to vulnerable groups.

Harvest/crops compensation.

Cash for seedlings for planting new trees.

4.2.1 Compensation in cash and Technical Household Passport

Relevant authorities have calculated the amount of compensation to be received by each HH

affected by Stage 1 resettlement, based on an asset inventory and the items listed in the

individual Technical Household Passport (THP).

6 See par. 4.2.1.6.

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 11

The 40 THP analysed were finalised between 2009 and 2013, with an increase in the level and

quality of information over time. Table 3 and 4 show a sample of a THP. The list of items and

related values included in each THP comprises compensation for lost housing and associated

assets, including fruit trees. Houses and structures are valued at market value at the time of

loss and the cost of labour is included in the figure. No direct references to transition expenses

and costs, and number of years to regrow fruit trees are included in the THP.7

7 Replacement cost as indicated in the RAP: “For houses and other structures, replacement cost is the market cost of the

materials to build a replacement structure with an area and quality equivalent to the affected structure, or to repair a

partially affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building materials to the construction site, plus the cost of any

labour and contractors' fees, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. It also includes costs for levelling or

other preparation for new construction or use. Costs are calculated based on the time at which the asset is being

replaced, if not, inflation is taken into account in calculating costs.” The RU stated that the replacement costs as per RAP

have been included in the compensation package and that evidence can be provided. The outstanding issue identified

during the intermediate HLA and that will be addressed in the full HLA is the inflation, as described in the following

sections.

4.2.1.1 Gaps in the asset evaluation and access to compensation

There is an average gap of approximately 30 months between the date of finalisation of the

assets evaluation of a sample of 16 THP8 and the date of access to the compensation

provided to these HH during the survey. The gap between the valuation of the compensation

amount and the access to the payment declared by the HH interviewed (if due to the Project

administrative timeframe), could trigger the need for retroactive compensation due to market

price increases (i.e. adjustment in compensation value for inflation to reflect local market

conditions). The determination of the need for retroactive compensation will be made

through the full HLA.

4.2.1.2 Compensation amount

When interviewed, HH recalled discrepancies between the amount officially allocated in

each respective THP and the amount received. Three out of 16 HH declaring a lower amount

than the one assigned and the remaining 13 HH an amount higher than the one assigned.

This information could be biased due to the sensitivity of the question (compensation) or

result from a lack of knowledge of the total compensation amount, which is disbursed in

phases and agreed in a few cases several years before the finalisation of construction

activities (see section 4.2.1.5).

4.2.1.3 Compensation management

There are often a number of families within each household. House plots on the relocation

site were distributed to each family within an affected HH (see section 4.2.2.3). During the

site visit it became evident that a number of families have started to construct several

individual houses on the assigned plots. This approach is likely to elicit delays in the

construction activities and in the relocation process, as the compensation provided for the re-

construction of one individual house may not be sufficient for the completion of more than

8 To identify the time-lapse between the evaluation of the assets and the access to compensation, the dates of evaluation of

assets indicated in 40 THP have been crossed with the dates of access to compensation declared by the HH interviewed

with the intermediate HLA questionnaire. Only 16 HH out of 40 provided the answer to this question and to the question

related to the amount of compensation received (see also section 4.2.1.2.).

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 13

one unit. It also means that newly constructed houses are likely to be smaller in size as the

funds provided for one house are divided amongst family members.

The RU is monitoring the construction activities of each HH and family to try to manage this

issue.

4.2.1.4 Delays and lack of funds for construction activities

94% of the HH interviewed with the survey questionnaire declared that the compensation

received for the house is/was no sufficient to build the new house. The key reasons provided

by this are the cost for material and labour.

With the aim of understanding this issue, data relating to the, “amount allocated”, “amount

still available in the compensation package” and “money still to be spent by the HH to

finalise the house construction” has been assessed and led to the following findings:

44% of those who did not relocate yet claim/declare that an average of 30,000

TJS (5,847USD9) will be spent in the finalisation of the relocation and

construction activities.

56% of those who relocated already claim/declared that an average of 45,000

TJS (8,771USD) was spent in the finalisation of the relocation and construction

activities.

TOTAL 100

Source: Survey data

It is evident from these findings that there is a discrepancy between estimated costs for

relocation and construction and actual costs. The key reason is likely to be one or more of

the following:

Compensation value does not reflect the local market conditions due to the impact of

inflation (i.e. increased cost of labour and material).

Higher grade building material has been used in a few cases for the construction of

the new HH premises.

Families are building in a few cases more than one unit in parallel with the

compensation received for the construction of the main HH premises.

4.2.1.5 Payment process

With regard to the payment system of cash compensation defined in the THP, each HH has

been given access to a bank account in which the amount reported in the THP is deposited

9 Conversion rate at December 14, 2014 (1TJS 0.194928USD).

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 14

and disbursed in 4 phases (30%, 30%, 30% and 10%). At the start of construction the HH is

entitled to access the 1st 30%. Each HH will have access to the next tranche of payment if

the RU, which monitors the construction activities, recognises progress in the construction

of the HH main premises. The last tranche of 10% is disbursed once the house is completed

and the HH can relocate. The construction progress monitoring system is in place to mitigate

the risk of mismanagement of the compensation allocated for the construction activities.

Right of property for the new house will be provided when the old house is torn down. This

is a mitigation measure to discourage attempts to sell or rent the compensated asset.

4.2.1.6 Lex credits and one-time payment

The Ministry of Labour makes available to each family a Lex Credit for the total amount of

3000 TJS (584USD). Requesting such credit is an option. In cases when the Lex credit is

requested, there is no obligation to pay back 50% of the amount received, while the

remaining 50% shall be repaid with no interest rate.

A One Time Payment is also provided and comprises 100 TJS (19USD) for the HH and 50

TJS (9USD) per family member, with no obligation to pay back the amount received.

From survey data 90% of the HH interviewed claim that they have not received such

credits/amounts, while the RU claims that these credits have been disbursed. This

discrepancy should be explored further in the full HLA.

4.2.2 Compensation in kind

4.2.2.1 Material

In addition to the compensation calculated in the THP, HH have been allowed to use part of

their original housing material for the construction of the new house. Specific measures also

apply to Kishrog and Mirog10 where the original housing is of low market value, so sand,

gravel, and stone11 have been provided to encourage the building of new houses on the host

site.

HH also have the right to use the timber of all trees owned and already compensated.

All the HH interviewed confirmed that they have been allowed to use the material of their

previous premises. HH in Kishrog and Mirog also declared that they will receive

compensation in kind in the form of construction material on top of cash compensation in

60% of the cases. In the remaining 40% of cases HH declared that they will receive

compensation in cash.

10 The relocation activities of 32 out of 38 HH which will relocate from Kishrog and Mirog to Yoli Garmoba will be

managed directly by Rogun Hydropower Power Plant (HPP) which will provide additional support to those who received

a low amount of cash compensation due to the lower value of the premises they occupy. The RU will work in close

collaboration with HPP, where possible, monitoring the status of the relocation activities and payments. 5 out of 38 HH

from Kishrog and Mirog selected as site of relocation Toychi and Tursunzade, and therefore the relocation process will be

managed by the RU. 11 5 tons cement (5000 TJS or nearly 1000USD), plus sand, gravel and stone as much as HH needs, including delivery, at

no cost.

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 15

4.2.2.2 Transportation

Improvements in the provision of transportation services to move HH have been recorded.

The service is now directly managed by the Project and tailored to the HH needs, which

where underestimated in the initial stages. The survey data shows that 41% of the HH

interviewed will use this support in a later stage, when the main HH premise construction

will be finalised. Additionally, 85% of the HH interviewed declared that the transportation

service was/will be provided to them free of charge, 81% of those who used the service so

far are very or completely satisfied with the service provided, 5% declared that the service

provided was not sufficient to transport their belongings. The full HLA should examine the

impacts of the deficiencies in provision of transport – identifying any household level losses

and required compensation to cover losses.

4.2.2.3 Land for Land

While land is owned by the State, the Land Code provides users rights including right to

lease, inherit, or mortgage the land. From the date of assignment, a family has up to 2 years

to start activities to keep such rights12. All the structures constructed on the assigned plots

are the property of the family and can be sold or rented.

Each family in the HH affected by Stage 1 resettlement has been provided a house plot in the

site of relocation. The project offered alternative relocation villages prior to assigning the

house plot and provided information about the new location. However, the extent to which

the information was sufficient vis-à-vis availability of land, cost of living, etc., is not known.

Additionally, each family will be provided with legal user right documents without the

obligation to build a structure on the house plots assigned by the Project and provision of

replacement land will include agricultural land, and pasture land13.

The HHs that chose a location near urban centres have had to take into account the

possibility of less available land for agricultural and pasture activities, due to increased land

12 Land Code, Article 37. Grounds for termination of the right of land use: “The right to use the whole plot of land or its

part shall be terminated in the following cases: (…) if land users discontinue their activities (…) non-use of the land plot

assigned for agricultural production for one year and for two years for non- agricultural purposes (…)”. 13 See RAP, and LRP 2014.

pressures and values. However, building a new house close to an urban centre will have a

higher market value.

The survey data confirmed that house plots have been assigned to each individual family.

However, it is clear that there are differences in size of land being used which the HH

consider to be smaller in the new location. During the site visit it was recorded that a few

HH in the village of origin are informally using land close to their house plots. Therefore in

a few cases the affected house plots were larger than those in the resettlement sites because

the HHs were using both their official allocation and informally using additional land as

their house plot. On the other hand, house plots assigned to families relocating in

Tursunzade, Dangara, Novi Saidon, Yoligarmova, and Rogun are 800 m2 whereas house

plots assigned in Rudaki are 1000 m2, therefore depending on the site of relocation chosen

by those affected differences in the size of the house plots were expected14. To be further

assessed by the RU if HH have been properly informed about the procedure for accessing

agricultural and pasture land and about the size of the house plots in the site of relocation.

Further outreach on accessing land is required and included in the implementation of the

Livelihood Restoration Plan (to be implemented in 2015).

Figure 10 shows that the documentation related to the right of use over the house plot has

been provided to 33% of the HH interviewed, independently from their relocation status.

The RU stated that they give documentation to the HH when all members have fully moved.

In addition, the documents are provided only to the head of households many of whom are

migrants out of the country. Additionally, for the rights over the house it will be provided

only when the previous premises will be destroyed to avoid them renting what was

compensated already. Details on provision of documents at the household level will need to

be assessed during the detailed household level survey.

4.2.2.4 Harvesting

Under the RAP, HH are entitled to cash compensation equalling an annual harvest from each

tree for a number of years, until the new trees planted at the new site can replaced these

harvests.

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 17

Additionally, the affected HH are allowed the use the land plot in the village of origin until

the relocation process is completed and/or the Project construction activities started.

Therefore, HH are encouraged to start cultivation activities in the new site while still using

the site of origin.

Survey data shows that 92% of the HH interviewed cultivated their land in the village of

origin, but only 20% have continued/plan on continuing this activities after relocation. Only

5 HH gave a reason for this decision, such as the size of the land in the new site that is

smaller than in the previous location and the lack of water for irrigation. Remedial measures

detailed in Chapter 6 include the provision of replacement land taking into consideration the

definition of replacement cost.

78% of the HH cultivating the land in the village of origin declared that the Project provided

in cash and in kind compensation for the impact on harvesting, the remaining 14%

compensation in cash only. This was in a form of i) allowing the HH to cut the trees already

compensated, ii) use the land in the old site for cultivation activities in parallel with the land

assigned in the new site, and iii) the compensation in cash for trees listed in the THP.

5 PERCEIVED IMPACT, BENEFIT AND ENGAGEMENT

5.1.1 HH perception and project impact on income

The project is perceived by 44% of the HH interviewed as negatively impacting the HH

income. 67% of those perceiving the negative impact of the project declared the loss of their

source of income due to the relocation15.

Figure 11 – Impact on HH income - perceived

Source: Survey data

The HH interviewed called on the Project to provide more construction material (37%), more

money (20%), and more labour force (15%) to build their houses.

5.1.2 Services in the village of destination

The services provided in the resettlement site shows an improvement in quality compared to

that found in the village of origin. Health service, school, electricity, and accessibility for

drinking water have been evaluated by a majority of the HH interviewed as better than before.

The site visit confirmed consistent advancement in the finalisation of a few new sites of

relocation16.

15 The Livelihood Restoration Plan (LRP) prepared for the Project will address this issue if it will be confirmed that this

impact is directly due to the project activities. 16 See Annex 2, Site visit photos.

5.1.3 Vulnerability

The project is continuing updating the list of those who should be provided with additional

assistance due to their level of vulnerability. As noted in section 4.2 more details on the

support to those vulnerable is required and should be explored in the full HLA. The support

provided is mostly the one prescribed by the national legislation. The list will be finalised by

the RU at the end of February 2015.

5.1.4 Stakeholder Engagement

The level of disclosure of information provided by the project has received mixed ratings. .

6 GAPS, MITIGATION MEASURES & WORK PLAN

6.1.1 Intermediate HLA summary of actions for Stage 1 and Stage 2

A set of actions is provided in the table below and linked with relevant assumptions which are reported in the table in italic. These actions

are general in nature but should receive more specificity in the full HLA.

Stage 1 Resettlement Stage 2 Resettlement

Land and Agriculture

Additional communication required with HH and families to

explain how the land entitlement assigned in the village of

destination was calculated.

Provide compensation to HHs whose replacement sites are

not equivalent to their previous (officially allocated) sites

(e.g., location, productivity, etc.).

Provide land user rights documents.

Provide replacement of agriculture/pasture land to the HH

who would like to continue engaging in agriculture and

pasture activities. Replacement of agriculture/pasture land

should be provide prior to physical displacement or before

spring 2015 to the HH who have finalised the relocation

process. If this is not possible, payments to support

continued cultivation of original plot will be provided.

Actively assist those interested in preparing and submitting

applications for agriculture and pasture land.

Compensate in cash for the loss of harvest (if any).

Land and Agriculture

The system of the lottery, if possible, should be revised

The HH families should be assigned plots close to each

other.

Additional communication required to explain to the HH

the implications of moving closer to urban areas in terms

of the availability and allocation of agricultural and pasture

land and how less land available in the urban areas may

affect HH ability to continue with subsistence agriculture

and grazing (see below informed choice and relocation

site).

Continue applying all RAP entitlements.

Findings:

The revision of the lottery system is likely to disincentives

the construction of more unites (one in each plot), which is

causing a delay in the construction activities and the

relocation process in Stage 1 and it is also complicating

the monitoring activities (to be considered the cost of

labour force and construction material that the families

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 22

Stage 1 Resettlement Stage 2 Resettlement

Findings:

The house plots were assigned to each family. Rights over

the land will be provided. 72% of the HH relocated and

interviewed declared that they did not receive the related

documentation.

HH claims that the house plots assigned to them are smaller

than the plots used in the village of origin. During the site

visit it was recorded that a few families in the village of

origin are informally using land close to their house plots;

so they were using more land than was officially allocated to

them.

Data shows that the HH are allowed to cultivate the land of

origin and the land of relocation. 80% of the HH

interviewed will not continue the cultivation activities in the

site of relocation.

HH are allowed to move to the new sites after the harvest to

eliminate crop losses.

choosing to build more units are encountering in Stage 1).

Housing and assets compensation including trees

Continue monitoring the construction activity of the main

HH premises and disclose a clear and feasible deadline for

the finalisation of the activities and the resettlement to the

new site. This deadline should take into account the

feasibility of the construction and constrains of the winter

season where the construction activities may be delayed due

to the weather conditions.

Consider the possibility of facilitating the access to loans

with low interest rates to who (families) would like to build

Housing and assets compensation including trees

Provide HH housing construction of the same or better

level instead of in cash compensation.

A construction contractor should be selected from the

beginning of the construction and relocation process for the

planning and construction activities and work in the time

frame provide by the project and in collaboration with the

RU and each HH to build the main HH premises. The

construction contractor should be encouraged to hire labour

force from the affected community of stage 1 and stage 2.

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 23

Stage 1 Resettlement Stage 2 Resettlement

more than one unite in parallel to the main HH premises.

Explain clearly how to access the lex credit and the one-time

payment or when the credit and payment have been

delivered to those affected. Identify HH that have not

received either payment for retroactive payments.

Provide cash compensation for fruit trees based on actual

number of fruit trees per HH and annual harvest per tree for

the number of years until harvest will be replaced by new

trees planted at the new site, where applicable and as

indicated in the RAP.

Findings:

A portion of HH that have relocated or are in the process of

relocating claim that the money to finalise their premises is

not enough. It is unclear whether this is as a result of HH

families building more units or it is due to inflation (caused

by delay between valuation and compensation delivery).

Additional costs include material and the cost of labour,

which increase when building more units, also if each unit is

smaller.

The Project is not responsible for assistance in building any

unit other than the main HH house. However, as a few

families decided to build units in the house plots assigned to

them and this is likely to cause delays in the construction

activities and the relocation (if inflation is found not to be

the main variable impacting the delays in the construction)

the Project should consider to facilitate families in accessing

loans with low interest rate for the finalisation of their units.

Additional support is provided with the Lex credit and the

Training should be provided to those who will be selected

and remunerated as part of the labour force that will be

engaged in the construction activities.

Consider facilitating access to loans with low interest rates

to families who would like to build more than one unite in

parallel to the main HH premises.

Continue applying all RAP entitlements.

Findings:

The construction of more units (one in each plot) in Stage 1

is likely to cause delays in the construction activities and

the relocation process and it is complicating the

monitoring activities (to be considered the cost of labour

force and construction material that the families choosing

to build more units with the amount received to build the

main HH premises are encountering in Stage 1).

In-kind compensation (i.e. construction of the HH houses)

is likely to reduce inflationary pressures on the costs of

goods and services.

Household Level Resettlement Audit - Intermediate Page 24

Stage 1 Resettlement Stage 2 Resettlement

one-time payment, however HH declared that this amount

was not allocated to them yet. The RU claims that this credit

and payment have been delivered to those affected.

Inflation

Identify gaps at the household level of more than 12 months

between the date of the THP valuation of assets and the

actual date HH have access to the bank account with the

amount of allocated compensation. If this gap is the

responsibility of the Project17 compensate the identified HH

by placing an additional amount to account for inflation as

follows:

­ HH relocated: in cash.

­ HH with ongoing relocation: in kind to improve

management of compensation (i.e. construction

material and labour force).

Findings:

HH declared an expenditure for the construction activities

higher that the amount assigned to them by the Project (i.e.

higher cost of construction material and labour force which

was claimed by some HH interviewed). This could be a

consequence of inflation or the construction of several

Inflation

Mitigate the risk of time gaps of more than 12 months

between the evaluation and the approval of any in cash

compensation (assets other that the main HH premises

which should be constructed by the Project as per section

above Housing and Compensation) and the access to that

amount of the HH affected.

Inform well in advance each HH on how to access the

amount of compensation allocated, including all relevant

documentation.

Provide support to the HH to prepare the necessary

documentation to access the bank account (i.e. identity

and/or registration documents etc.).

Continue applying all RAP entitlements.

premises instead of one.

Comparing 16 THP date of issue with the date in which the

HH declared was allowed to access the compensation there

is an average 30 months gap that should be officially

checked for each HH by the Project consulting

documentation from the bank and the THP date of

finalisation.

Informed choice and relocation site

Communicate the implication of potential increase in the HH

spending if the HH will decide to terminate the cultivation

activities for own consumption.

Findings:

The HH relocated from Rural to Urban area are

experiencing an increase in the cost of living due to the lack

of production from the agriculture which was used for own

consumption and the higher costs of living when close to

urban area.

Informed choice and relocation site

Provide clear information about the villages and areas of

relocation. The information can be delivered in the form of

community meetings and site visits (including meetings

and site visits in which women, youth, and vulnerable

PAPs participate), 1 page leaflets (which may use also

comics) etc. and should explain to the HH the differences

in cost of living between the village of origin and the

village of destination (items which may be included: costs

of fruits, vegetable, eggs, flour, and milk). This set of

information is likely to facilitate an informed selection of

the site of relocation (i.e. to increase the HH awareness of

the cost of living in urban area and/or of the indirect costs

that the HH should face if not engaging any more in

agricultural activities for own consumption).

Continue applying all RAP entitlements.

The CLO will collect and record in electronic manner all the

comments, complains and grievances, making a hard copy of

the information readily accessible to HH and other interested

Monitoring of the Intermediate HLA mitigation measures for Stage 1

The information for these indicators should be collated at regular intervals (e.g., quarterly or half yearly depending on circumstances) and compared

over time:

Number of HH:

­ Deciding to continue agricultural activities for own consumption.

­ Finalising the construction of the HH main premises in the timeframe provided.

­ Relocating in the timeframe provided.

­ Claiming that the impact of the project on their income is negative.

­ Claiming the needs of more money, labour force and construction material to finalise their main premises.

Number of families:

­ Accessing the loan at low interest to finalise the construction of their premises.

­ Requesting agricultural land.

6.1.2 Gap analysis: Rap entitlements and Project approach

The summary of the entitlements listed in the RAP and the set of actions listed in the table above have been used to populate a table of

additional measures for the finalisation of the Stage 1 Resettlement. The items still in progress, which should be evaluated in a later stage of

the Project, have been labelled “in progress”.

RAP entitlements Intermediate HLA mitigation measures

Asset House and

Structure

Cash compensation for house at replacement

cost.

Analyse the compensation delivered to account

replacement costs for inflation (see note 7).

Cash compensation as described above will be

paid in three tranches.

RU approach is the following: “Cash

compensation is disbursed in 3 main phases (30%,

60% and 90%). The last tranche of 10% is

disbursed once the house is completed and the HH

can relocate”.

Costs are determined based on the time the

asset is being replaced. In cases where

valuations have been undertaken more than 12

months to the date of compensation, the costs

will be recalculated to account for inflation.

Identify possible gaps of more than 12 months

between the date of the THP valuation of assets

and the actual date HH have access to the bank

Full Household Level Survey

Carry out a full Household Level Survey which will guide the household level

retroactive payments and support and facilitate the implementation of the

recommendations listed in this HLA.

Cross check the date of evaluation of the assets listed in the 289 THP with the actual

date HH have access to the back account with the amount of allocated compensation.

If the gaps are identified provide compensation as described in the recommendation

section (see chapter 6) of this HLA (in kind and cash).

Land and Agriculture

Additional communication may be required with HH and families to explain how the

land entitlement assigned in the village of destination was calculated.

Provide compensation to HH whose replacement sites are not equivalent to their

previously (officially allocated) sites (e.g., location, productivity, etc.).

Continue supporting HH in applying for agriculture/pasture land where applicable:

supporting those interested in preparing and submitting applications.

Provide replacement of agriculture/pasture land to the HH who would like to continue

engaging in agriculture and pasture activities. Replacement of agriculture/pasture

land should be provide prior to physical displacement or before spring 2015 to the

HH who already finalised the relocation process.

Provide land users right documents

ANNEX 1. HLA CENSUS AND SURVEY SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC

DATA ANALYSIS

1. Introduction

Following the review of the data provided by the Resettlement Unite (RU) only 2

households out of 289 responded to the census requirements as described in the HLA

Term of Reference (ToR)19, therefore the approach selected was the following:

i) Households were selected based on whether they have received less than 60% of

the agreed compensation.

ii) A representative sample of 21 households was selected for inclusion in the

census and questions were asked relating to demographics, education, health

care, occupations, access to land, income and expenditure.

iii) The data analysis was carried out using the data collected with the census

questionnaire (21 Households HH) and when relevant the survey questionnaire

(120 HH) 20. For comparative purposes, specific information is also included

from the 2011 census.

The aim of this approach is to understand any differences or similarities between

households that are either in the process of relocation or have already completed the

resettlement process.

Information is presented on household composition, income and expenditure,

occupation, land use and access, education and vulnerable groups21.

2. Summary of principal findings

Generally household size is bigger and access to land is less in the relocation site

than village of origin. This is primarily due to an increase in the number of births

and the relocation of families into an urban setting, where there is less space

available to each household.

Those that have not completed resettlement continue to have access to more than

one area of land, which is primarily an area for housing, in addition to an area of

farmland.

Wages and remittances are a key source of income for all households, although

income levels vary from less than 500 Somoni to over 3000 Somoni a month.

Despite only a small number of households reporting farming as their main

occupation, all households have livestock and grow produce for household

consumption. This is primarily staples such as potatoes, tomatoes and onions.

Produce is only sold if there is a surplus.

19 The ToR indicates the following: “The HLA does not include those households which have not received any payments

to date and have not initiated the resettlement process. These are covered under a separate census and socio-economic

survey. (…) The consultant will update the draft RAP to incorporate findings from the census. This may include updating

additional sections of the RAP”. 20 The census questionnaire includes the same set of variables, with a few exceptions, of the questionnaire used in the

census carried out in 2011 to keep consistency in the approach and allow longitudinal data analysis. The survey

questionnaire is included in Annex 3 of the HLA. 21 The HLA Annex 1 was prepared in collaboration of Katie Thompson.

HLA Census and Survey socio-economic and demographic data analysis – Annex 1

Page 40

A quarter of households reported having a vulnerable member of the household and

14% of census households reported being very poor.

All of the women household members reported being housewives, with 15% of

male respondents reporting ‘worker’ as their main occupation and an additional

15% unemployed.

3. Detailed findings

3.1 Household Composition

Households are comprised of family members, usually parents and their children. A quarter

of households have 5 or fewer members, with almost half of all households reporting between

6 and 8 members. This was found to be the same for respondents to both the survey and the

census.

Figure 1: Household Size

Source: Survey

There are a large number of households with 10 or more members (22% of survey

respondents). This is primarily due to two or more families living together in one household.

Forty-three percent of survey respondents reported living with more than one family in the

same household.

This figure has not changed when compared with information from the 2011 census where

the majority of households consisted of 2 families. In 2011, the only location where there are

on average 3 families per household is Chorsada.

Figure 2: Number of Families per Household

Source: Survey

Half of census respondents reported that there has been no changed in the size of their

household since resettlement began. Of those that reported a change in household size, only

5% have seen a decrease with the majority of change resulting in an increase in household

size (44%). This is as a result of an increase in births within families resulting in a higher

number of children in the surveyed population.

Figure 3: Change in Household Size

Source: Survey

Women and men are evenly divided within the local population and the majority of

households have a male head (80%). The number of female-headed households is

significantly higher in the surveyed households, when compared with the census information

where a female household head was only found in one incidence, compared to 20% of

surveyed households.

The high number of female-headed households in the surveyed population could be a result of

the large number of male household members working abroad in order to support the families

that remain in the study area. This is discussed in more detail in Section 0 below.

Over three quarters of household heads are aged over 40 (77%), with almost half aged

between 40 and 60 years old (46%).

3.2 Income and Expenditure

Waged employment is a significant source of income for census households, followed by

labour migration. Remittances received from family members working abroad are the main

income source of income for 22% of census households, however, in total 38% of households

reported receiving money from abroad. The amount received every year varies from 3000

Somoni to 40,000 Somoni.

Figure 4: Source of Income

Source: Household Census

Households included in the census reported that, although waged employment is an important

income source, it is common for only one member of the household to earn an income (57% of

census households).

The average total household expenditure is 2400 Somoni, with the largest proportion of this

spent on food. The majority of households (87%) spend between 200 and 1000 on food each

month. The second largest expenditure is clothing, with 30% of households spending

between 500-1000 Somoni per month.

Although incomes are relatively low, the majority of households (74%) reported in the census

that they are middle class, neither rich nor poor. Poor households were reported in 10% of

households, with an additional 14% considering themselves very poor.

3.3 Occupation

Occupations are divided amongst genders, with all women reporting their main occupation as

‘housewife’, although this does include agricultural duties, in addition to working in the

home.

Unemployment amongst male respondents is relatively high with 15% of household members

currently not in work, as show in Figure 10 below.

Figure 10: Occupation

Source: Household Census

Only a small number of respondents reported farming as their main occupation, however,

agricultural production for household consumption was reported in all households.

All census households have livestock, which are primarily cattle, goats, sheep and chickens.

Agricultural production for household consumption includes staples such as potatoes,

tomatoes and onions.

Livestock are also an important source of security and a form of saving for households. The

majority of households (90%) reported that if they do not have sufficient food they sell

livestock, over all other income generating activities.

Households that have been relocated reported a change in their agricultural activities

following resettlement. Survey respondents reported that of the 93% of the households that

were cultivating land prior to the relocation, only 20% have continued after they have been

resettled.

3.4 Land Access and Use

The land used for housing is all less than 1ha, with almost a quarter of household survey

respondents (24%) stating that their homes are on a 0.15ha plot of land and an additional 15%

on a plot of 0.5ha.

Figure 11: Size of Land per Household

Source: Household Census

The majority of households reported having access to land outside of the area surrounding the

homestead, which is often used for farming or presidential land. The size of this additional

land varies, although over half is under 1ha (53%). The largest proportion of households

reported that the land is exactly 1ha and only 7% has access to 2ha.

Households that have already been relocated reported that in general they have access to less

land in the new location when compared to their area of origin.

3.5 Education

Over half of all census respondents (60%) reported completing secondary education, either to

grade 9 or 11 and an additional 19% have a primary level education. Only a small number of

household members reported having a higher education, either through vocational training or

a degree and 9% of respondents have no formal education at all.

Educational attainment can be linked to the distance needed to travel to schools or colleges.

The majority of households have to travel less than 1km to reach a school, with only 5%

travelling 2Km and an additional 10% travelling 3km.

within their household. An additional 14% of census households are also considered

vulnerable as they are considered very poor. This means that they often do not have the

resources required to cope with change.
